<quote>The FAQ at OpenSUSE is a fine document.</quote> - huh?
As usual the man page is the place to go. In pf.conf's man page there
is even a definition of "self" as it is used in pf.conf.
Unusually (for man pages) man 5 pf.conf has a BNF statement of the
syntax. You should learn about BNF if you don't know it.

This life is not the real thing.
It is not even in Beta.
If it was, then OpenBSD would already have a man page for it.
